ONGOING PROJECTS

The University of Pavia has a longstanding tradition in planning and attracting a significant amount of funds for research initiatives. In the context of Horizon2020 – the EU Framework Programme for Research and Innovation 2014-2020 – the University of Pavia:

  • hosts 14 MSCA actions (5 ETN, 1 EJD, 5 IF and 3 RISE, 11 of which still ongoing);
  • hosts 10 ERC grants (5 Starting, 3 Consolidator and 2 Advanced, 8 of which still ongoing);
  • is involved in other 30 collaborative R&D projects for a total of 54participations (€25m).

Our most significant initiatives being the Human Brain Project, 3 ENIAC JTI projects, 1 Innovative Medicine Initiative projects, and the PERISCOPE project (recently funded with more than €10M to conduct researches on the socio-economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic). In addition, the University takes part in international consortia financed by the JTI ECSEL Joint Undertaking and the CONCERT consortium for European Joint Programming.
